Deep Dish, what is it?
We don't really eat deep dish. Most people here don't except for a few times a year. That being said, if you must:
Pequod's - Okay, maybe this one isn't technically deep dish. But it's pretty close and really good. Long wait times, however.
Lou Malnati's OR Giordano's - We're not willing to die on this hill or pick sides. They'll both get you what you're looking for.
